Tumblelogs, as the Tumblr Inc. people say, are "online scrapbooks." Keeping one is great for those who always have a lot to share (links/photos/music/video/conversations/any form of observation) but do not always feel they need to have an explanation (or much explanation that it requires a lengthy post) to what they have found/thought of. This can actually be useful to the amnesiacs, the crammers, the OC ones, the lazy ones, the bums. It's like Stumbleupon, Twitter, and LJ all rolled into one.

Here's what I've been discovering from some Tumblelogs lately:

1. Iceland: Happiness is Failure
Failure Magazine on Weiner and Iceland:

One of the subjects Weiner interviews, Larus Johannesson, explains it as follows: “Failure doesn’t carry a stigma in Iceland. In fact, in a way we admire failures.”

Of course, this isn’t an entirely good thing, at least as far as artistic endeavors are concerned. “There’s no one on the island telling them they’re not good enough, so they just go ahead and sing and paint and write,” begins Weiner. “One result of this freewheeling attitude is that Icelandic artists produce a lot of crap.”
